Chapter 175: One Man Holds the Pass, a Thousand Ancient Glories
Wenren Zheng did not let a trace of curse power leak out, and completely shattered it!
"Dao principles? It's a True Monarch!"
In the seating area on the right side of the square, Shen Zhen exclaimed.
Her words caused all the martial arts masters present to change color dramatically.
Although the grand path ultimately converges, the principles of martial arts and the principles of the magic path still differ, so the True Masters present can more easily determine Qi Ming's cultivation than martial arts masters.
Shen Zhen's cultivation ranks among the top of the True Masters, and the Nightmare Sect has a natural advantage in perception, so she was the first to make the confirmation.
The president of the New Heaven Association is actually a True Monarch!
If this news were to spread, who knows what a great uproar it would cause!
Moreover, everyone present knew clearly that this True Monarch is likely not existing, but newly promoted.
The power of Dao principles cannot be disguised; if the other three True Monarchs or that Buddha were to act, they would definitely be recognized immediately.
Therefore, the president of the New Heaven Association should be a newly promoted True Monarch.
The birth of any peak strong person is enough to change the world's structure!
In the Imperial Study Room, the Emperor, holding the Jade Seal, restrained his aura.
He glanced at the picture in the live television broadcast, Li Fei was still standing on the high platform and had not completed his breakthrough.
Li Fei, as a State Duke, is endowed not only with his own fortune but also with the fortune of the Da Lan Dynasty.
Additionally, his breakthrough this time will impact the national fortune of Da Lan Dynasty, further strengthening the connection between them.
At this time, Qi Ming of the New Heaven Association was to act against Li Fei, who was right outside the Imperial City, avoiding Wenren Zheng who was not adept in the path of fortune, but could not avoid the Emperor in the Imperial Palace.
Therefore, the other party acted first by using the pieces buried in the five provinces, utilizing the accumulated curse from the five provinces to shake the national fortune, forcing the Emperor to act first to suppress the national fortune.
This gave the other party a chance to successfully set an 'iron wall' upon Li Fei's destiny.
The Emperor's face was grim at this time, not only because Li Fei's path was blocked and the national fortune did not increase.
More importantly, at this moment, he felt a comprehensive targeting!
Like water versus fire, spear versus shield, order against chaos, survival against destruction.
The sudden appearance of Qi Ming made the Emperor seem to see an enemy of the grand path!
"Five provinces, snow disaster..."
In the Imperial Study Room, countless lights flashed in the Emperor's eyes, as if a divine being reflecting the mortal world.
He quickly figured out how Qi Ming made his breakthrough.
This newly promoted True Monarch's Dao principles are related to the Curse Skill, and before breaking through, a large amount of resentment was 'resources of the grand path' for Qi Ming.
Qing Xu True Monarch rebelled and performed a blood sacrifice of nearly a million people in Ming Province!
Set fire to dozens of cities, creating a disaster.
The resentment generated from this is absolutely immense!
If the Buddha from Pudu Temple hadn't acted in time, using Buddhist Law to liberate hundreds of thousands of departed souls and comfort millions of people's hearts post-disaster, perhaps shortly after Qing Xu True Monarch's death, a newly promoted True Monarch would have already appeared!
And even then, the Emperor could be sure that Qi Ming reaped substantial benefits from that catastrophe, significantly increasing his cultivation, only a hair's breadth away from breaking through.
Until the snow disaster at the beginning of this year, affecting a total of five provinces and severely impacting millions of people.
The New Heaven Association took the opportunity to launch actions in the five provinces, continuing to accumulate 'resources' for Qi Ming.
The Curse Skill requires a curse object.
Similar to the grand vows made by Buddhists, the bigger the vow, the harder it is to fulfill, and the higher the upper limit.
Similarly, the stronger the curse object, the higher the upper limit of the Dao.
Qi Ming chose the entire Da Lan Dynasty as his curse object!
Others curse individuals.
He curses a nation!
Qing Xu True Monarch's rebellion and the damage to Da Lan Dynasty's national fortune showed him his opportunity to attain the Dao.
As the five provinces suffered a snow disaster, the national fortune fluctuated again, and as Qi Ming collected curse power, he looked for an opportunity to break through, eventually succeeding!
His key to success lay not in the curse power from the five provinces, but in the renewed fluctuation of national fortune.
In Curse Country, the more declined the nation, the more tumultuous the national fortune, the greater Qi Ming's chance to break through.
This is why the Emperor felt targeted at this moment.
While Qi Ming poses an enemy to Li Fei as a path blocker, he is indeed a true enemy of the grand Dao to the entire Da Lan Dynasty!
In the square, Wenren Zheng did not continue to act.
The deterrence from Qi Ming's previous strike had already been successfully established, Wenren Zheng was proficient in killing, but not in saving, yet at this time, he had the entire Lanling City and millions of people behind him to protect!
Construction is always harder than destruction, and protection is harder than annihilation.
Moreover, at this moment, Wenren Zheng confronts a True Monarch of Spell.
When the Western Alliance Army was at the city gate, this Military God was responsible for leading the army to battle, with Yun Shu, the State Preceptor, assisting in guarding the Lanling City, he could fight freely without worry.
But now, State Preceptor Yun Shu was severely injured and remained in seclusion.
Therefore, Wenren Zheng dared not ascend to battle.
Outside Lanling City, at the Sky Blue Ranch.
There is a world-renowned cavalry here—the Sky Blue Cavalry!
When Qi Ming suddenly appeared, Wenren Zheng immediately issued military orders to the Sky Blue Cavalry stationed outside the city.
At this time, in the ranch, tens of thousands of Imperial Camp Cavalry were quickly gathering.
Above Lanling City, even though there were dozens of miles in between, even though the military formation has yet to be activated, Qi Ming could already sense an overwhelming evil Qi!
Once that number one cavalry in the world reaches outside the city, escaping will not be easy.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this, and the remaining time was already sufficient for him.
